The five regional governors in the South East met at the Enugu State Government House on Sunday to discuss security challenges in the region.
Sunday’s meeting had in attendance Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, and his Ebonyi State counterpart, Dave Umahi with the host governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who was on hand to receive them.
Although Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma and his Anambra State counterpart, Professor Charles Soludo were absent they were represented by their deputies.
This will be their first meeting for the year after they gathered in January 2022.
They had also met on June 11, 2021, when they had joint security deliberations with the Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbeshola, Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabour, and other service chiefs.
A communique will be issued at the end of the closed-door meeting.
But sources expect the governors to also discuss the issue of the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu who is still being held in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
